​Roommates Matter

RoomSync began as an idea and has since grown into a tool that is used by dozens of student housing communities and tens of thousands of students. At our company's core is the belief that empowering roommate choice leads to happier people who are more willing to work through their differences. And in the long term it means more students graduating from college. We support the Big Goal of The Lumina Foundation to increase the proportion of Americans with high-quality degrees and credentials to 60 percent by the year 2025. We believe that an important step towards achieving this goal is to improve students' quality of life through more compatible roommate pairings, and a recent study led by Michigan State University agrees with us.
